"Boom!" A loud noise echoed on the highest peak of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect. The swordsmen who were fighting bloody battles on the front line were frightened by the huge roar behind them and involuntarily shrank their necks.
They turned back to look at the restless Immortal Peak over there, no longer knowing what to do.
These swordsmen fighting the monsters didn't know what was going on, nor why fierce battles were always breaking out within the sect they were sworn to protect.
Reinforcements have begun to dwindle, as not many people seem to care about the fighting on the front lines anymore.
Many swordsmen are returning to their own world in a hurry, and Cambridge, which looks so spectacular, is becoming unstable in the turmoil.
Canceling Cambridge and establishing such a teleportation array require strong spiritual power, so these Cambridges will not be easily canceled unless they are at a critical moment.
This is also one of the reasons why you must be cautious when opening the Cambridge Formation. Once the space is torn, recovery becomes troublesome. This is the drawback of maintaining space magic for a long time.
On the forward position of Shenzong Mountain Gate, a round of fierce explosions covered the outermost highlands. It was a precursor to the start of the sweeper's attack, and it was very standard fire coverage.
This meant that another round of fierce attacks was about to begin. The swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect who were lying on the ground had to curl up and endure the fierce baptism of gunfire.
They were used to such brutal battles. The cries of the female swordsman who had just been added were drowned in the sound of artillery fire. Mercy became worthless in this place.
The swordsmen who stepped onto the battlefield for the first time had gone from being at a loss what to do to being numb. Their nerves had been damaged to such an extent that they didn't even bother to scream when they saw the flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Further back on the high ground, the Sixth Elder reached out and grabbed a swordsman's collar, and asked angrily: "What's going on?"
The swordsman was a little nervous. He looked at the hand holding his collar and replied: "I heard that there was a conflict between the Supreme Elder and the sect leader... There was a fight between the two sides. The Supreme Elder went on a killing spree, and the eighth elder... the eighth elder...
It seems that the elder was also killed."
The swordsman who went to inquire about the news was in shock. In fact, he only went to inquire about the news, but the wounded people and collapsed buildings he saw along the way had already hurt his fragile mind.
The originally gorgeous and solemn pavilions and pavilions have now completely changed. Some rooms are filled with useless gold, silver, and jade objects, while others are filled with screaming and uncared-for wounded people.
No one would not worry about becoming such a wounded person, leaning against a wall or being thrown on the ground, covered in blood but with no one to take care of the wounded.
In fact, there are female swordsmen who are responsible for taking care of these wounded soldiers, but because there are too many wounded, most of the female swordsmen have been deployed to reinforce the front line, so there are very few people to take care of these injured unfortunates.
Of course, many of the remaining female swordsmen actually ran away. Anyway, it’s such a mess now, and no one cares about small things like vacancies...
From time to time, black energy penetrated the mountain-protecting formation and bombarded the fairy mountain. Huge explosions would also destroy some houses and buildings. All the scenes made the swordsman who went to inquire about the news subvert his idea that the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect was invincible.
Of course, he also saw many buildings that were said to have been destroyed by the Supreme Elder, but these were just rumors, and it was true that few people saw such things with their own eyes.
Of course, the Sixth Elder did not believe such nonsense, and he shouted loudly: "That's nonsense. How could the Supreme Elder take action against Zongzong? What's more, how could the Eighth Elder be killed! Who spread this rumor?
"
"Disciple, I don't know either! I heard from a few swordsmen who ran away in panic. I have never seen it with my own eyes." The swordsman quickly explained.
Of course he couldn't see it, because more than 90% of the swordsmen present had been devoured by the Supreme Elder. Those who hid far away could only be approximated.
These peripheral swordsmen who were lucky enough to escape the slaughter of the Supreme Elder spread the news while running away, just to save their lives.
Because as long as this kind of thing is no longer a secret, the possibility of them being killed and silenced will be infinitely reduced.
However, because they were very urgent and they didn't see anything with their own eyes, the news they spread really looked like rumors and nonsense.
As for who believes it and who doesn't, that is no longer a matter for these swordsmen to consider. At this moment, most of them have found a Cambridge portal and fled to other caves and paradises to hide their names.
"You dare to talk nonsense without seeing it? Please tell me carefully, did anyone see the Supreme Elder take action with his own eyes?" the Sixth Elder roared, his voice full of ferocity and distortion.
The war outside had already made him a little hysterical, and the chaos that broke out behind him made him even more manic.
Now that we have reached this point, who can be calm and still take into account the little effort of cultivating Qi?
The disciple was not a fool. When he saw the Sixth Elder being so angry, he knew what he should say: "This, there is no such thing, some disciples are just spreading the rumors... But someone saw the Taishang Elder releasing his spiritual energy and smashing it into pieces.
A house.”
At this time, if you say something that everyone likes to hear, even if it is a lie, it is for your own good. Doesn’t it mean that you are really good if you are good to yourself?
It was less than expected. The sixth elder was still furious, but he was no longer willing to pursue it any further. He loosened his grip on the swordsman and ordered irritably: "You dare to spread rumors after seeing these? Get out!
Get out of here!"
"Yes! Disciple acknowledges his mistake! Disciple resigns!" The swordsman hurriedly prepared to leave. He was also afraid that the Sixth Elder could not control his emotions and accidentally kill him.
Suppressing his anger, the Sixth Elder seemed to realize something and stopped the swordsman who was about to leave: "Come back! Bring me more people! No matter what, let me know clearly! What happened?
! Within an hour! Come back with the exact news!"
He still wanted to know the exact information, but because he couldn't get away, he could only ask people to inquire honestly and find out what the problem was.
Poor communication and cumbersome communication have always been problems that have plagued the Tianjian Shenzong. Before, it was not fatal even if it did not encounter a strong enemy, but now it has become a serious flaw.
"Yes! Disciple, I'll take the people with you right now!" The disciple promised with his fists clasped, and after agreeing, he turned around and left quickly.
After the disciple left with a few people, a lecturer on the side sighed and said to the sixth elder: "Now there is chaos in the sect. At this time, even if you ask him to lead people to investigate, there will be no results.
of."
"Why? After all, I am also the sixth elder in the sect. How dare he disobey my orders?" The sixth elder asked subconsciously, unable to react.
"Elder! Under the current circumstances, if the scattered people go out, it would be good if half of them come back! What kind of decent news can the half of them come back with?" the lecturer quickly explained.
The sixth elder frowned and asked the other party: "Then tell me, what can we do?"
Just when he was asking this question, the sweepers in the distance started a fierce attack again. The densely packed army came closer, and the two sides once again strangled each other, and tragic scenes kept appearing.
Another group of swordsmen from the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect dressed in white clothes were brought to the front line for reinforcements by their senior brother leader, and dozens of defeated soldiers who had retreated from the position carrying the wounded on their backs hurriedly passed by the stone steps at their feet with their heads lowered.
"What you can do now is to go to the back mountain in person, find the first elder and the second elder who are retreating, and let them come out." The lecturer persuaded.
"The two elders have been in seclusion for a hundred years, and this time has passed..." The sixth elder hesitated, although he had also thought that at this time, the first elder and the second elder should come out to solve the problem.
In fact, when the fourth elder and the fifth elder died, he suggested to the sect leader that the first elder and the second elder should end their retreat.
But at that time, the sect leader seemed to feel that there was no need to disturb the first elder and the second elder since the supreme elder was in charge of the overall situation.
At that time, everyone still felt that it would be more in Shenzong's interests to wait for the First Elder and the Second Elder to break through and gain greater strength before coming out to reverse the situation.
However, things often change faster than planned, and the sect's war situation took a turn for the worse. In less than ten days, it had become like this.
The swordsmen of Shenzong were trapped at the mountain gate, and the land outside had long been completely lost. Even the once-splendid Cambridges had disappeared by as many as a dozen.
The elder group, which represented Shenzong's highest combat effectiveness, also fell one after another. The fourth elder and the fifth elder were besieged by the enemy during the counterattack, failed to break through and died on the battlefield.
The Ninth Elder led troops to reinforce the first Cambridge to be attacked, but was surrounded and killed by the enemy in that battle. Then the world connected to Cambridge was also destroyed by the sweepers, and eventually Cambridge collapsed.
The tenth elder died in a battle on the defensive position outside the mountain gate a few days ago. He was completely eaten when he died. The disciples who escaped burst into tears when talking about this tragic situation.
Including the three elders and seven elders who were left behind on Planet Hope 2, and the ten elders of the Tianjian Shen Sect, six elders have already died!
In fact, the Sixth Elder does not know yet that the Eighth Elder has also been killed at this moment. The rumors are all true. The Taishang Elder killed the Eighth Elder who came to help the Shenzong leader, and the blood flowed into the Shenzong.
That's why Shenzong was in such chaos, and that's why the battle has continued until now. Because of the help of the eighth elder, the Supreme Elder failed to kill the leader of Shenzong in time, which caused rumors to spread.
However, the Sixth Elder does not know all this yet. He still thinks that the Eighth Elder is in charge of the overall situation from behind. He also thinks that the Shenzong Master and the Taishang Elder are preparing to fight back and turn the tide...
Of course, the Sixth Elder was not a fool. After hearing those rumors, he also began to suspect that there was something wrong within the Shenzong sect behind him. It was obvious that the command and dispatch had completely collapsed. He could also see that if the Shenzong was said to be
The sect master and the eighth elder are still in charge of the overall situation, and the supreme elder is still in charge of the center. Such a thing will not happen!
"Sixth Elder, you are confused! If the rumors are true and there is a conflict between the Supreme Elder and the sect leader, do you think the sect leader is the Supreme Elder's opponent?" The lecturer became anxious and said directly without even using the honorific title.
"This... although the sect leader is a genius, in terms of strength, I think the Supreme Elder is better..." The Sixth Elder was originally doubtful, but after hearing this, he began to hesitate.
"Isn't this right? If the Supreme Elder gains power, can he let me go?" The lecturer said worriedly: "We are all the sect master's confidants. Although there are some disagreements on weekdays, in essence, we can
They are all the sect master’s people!”
The Sixth Elder was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that even if he was willing to bow his head and seek refuge with the Supreme Elder, he would still be an insider who had witnessed the Supreme Elder deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors. What good fruits could he reap by then?
Even if the Supreme Elder lets him go, what future will he, an elder promoted by the sect master, have?
"So, the best choice now is to rush to the back mountain. Even if the cultivation of the first elder and the second elder is damaged, we must make them ready... But, I am afraid that it is too late to go now..."
The lecturer gave some advice.
He had no choice. After all, as the Sixth Elder's confidant, he had to plan his future.
The Sixth Elder gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Okay, I'll leave this place to you! I'll lead people to the back mountain! Remember, I will come back no matter what, and you must guard the mountain gate before I come back!"
Not planning to return to the main peak of the Immortal Mountain, the Sixth Elder felt that it would be more appropriate for him to go to the spiritual formation in the back mountain for retreat.
If there was no trouble, he would go there to confirm and return to the main peak without wasting much time. But if there was trouble, he would not need to go to the main peak to inquire.
Moreover, vaguely, the Sixth Elder also felt that things were developing completely out of control. Anyone who can be an elder cannot be a fool. The Sixth Elder was just panicked for a moment, which does not mean that he is stupid.
At this time, going to the retreating spiritual formation with two big trees behind the big elder and two elders is the surest way to win, right?
The lecturer clasped his fists and promised: "I will do my best to guard this place and wait for you to come back!"
"When I come back with the First Elder and the Second Elder, you will at least be an elder in the future! This is my promise! Don't let down the sect's expectations!" He patted the other party on the shoulder and gave a rather tempting offer.
As promised, the Sixth Elder turned around, called a few confidants with advanced cultivation levels, and hurriedly flew up to the distant mountain peak.
